Deposed

Some people prove their cases for you.  I love the guy wearing the panty on his head, as the Coen Brothers would say:

My Clients Say Funny Things Too

While I haven't practiced law since the 60s like my dad, I also have had a few clients say and do some funny stuff.  Here are a few of my memories:

• I won a case for a man accused of ... ahem ... exposing himself to a Casey's employee.  He then asked if he could sue her for, "slander, you know, interrupting my characteristic."
• One client said he didn't want to run afoul of the "Environmental Collection Agency."
• I had a young and emotional divorce client.  He felt he had given his all to his marriage.  He tearily said, "I stuck everything I had into that woman."
• I once had a man ask me over the phone if I gave a free initial confrontation.

Observations from Washington State

My friend Clint Morgan, a partner at the Morgan Hill law firm in Olympia, Washington, came up with some of his clients' best stuff:

• A consult wanted me to sue another party for "declamation of character."
• A domestic violence victim presented to the court evidence to the court that she was "altercated."
• Many of my clients are in "agreeance" with with the other party.

Shortest Deposition in History

Please do not try this at home ...

Boys, boys!
